For a polynomial $g ( x )$ with real coefficient, let $m _{ g }$ denote the number of distinct real roots of $g ( x )$. Suppose $S$ is the set of polynomials with real coefficient defined by

$S=\left\{\left(x^2-1\right)^2\left(a_0+a_1 x+a_2 x^2+a_3 x^3\right): a_0, a_1, a_2, a_3 \in R\right\} \text {. }$

For a polynomial $f$, let $f^{\prime}$ and $f^{\prime \prime}$ denote its first and second order derivatives, respectively. Then the minimum possible value of $\left(m_f+m_{f^{\prime}}\right)$, where $f \in S$, is. . . . . . . .

Examine if Rolle's Theorem is applicable to any of the following functions. Can you say some thing about the converse of Roller's Theorem from these examples?

$f(x)=[x]$ for $x \in[5,9]$

In the mean value theorem, $f(b) - f(a) = (b - a)f'(c) $ if $a = 4$, $b = 9$ and $f(x) = \sqrt x $ then the value of $c$  is

If $f$ and $g$ are differentiable functions in $[0, 1]$ satisfying $f\left( 0 \right) = 2 = g\left( 1 \right)\;,\;\;g\left( 0 \right) = 0,$ and $f\left( 1 \right) = 6,$ then for some $c \in \left] {0,1} \right[$  . .

If Rolle's theorem holds for the function $f(x)=x^{3}-a x^{2}+b x-4, x \in[1,2]$ with $f ^{\prime}\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)=0,$ then ordered pair $( a , b )$ is equal to

Suppose that $f$ is differentiable for all $x$ and that $f '(x) \le 2$ for all x. If $f (1) = 2$ and $f (4) = 8$ then $f (2)$ has the value equal to
